MikeW Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Has anyone replaced the bushings on a 92 Toyota motorhome? If so, what manufacturer and part number did you use? I emailed Energy Suspension and they didn't know and referred me to the manufacturer of their product. I phoned them and no one answered. Any help would be appreciated.

MikeW Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Are the bushings any different on the 1 ton compared to the standard '91 Toyota Pickup? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The rear bushings are all the same, but there two different front sizes. I used parts from Energy Suspension. PN 8.2107 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirliott Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The Energy Suspension bushings are great and you'll probably never need to replace them. My son and I built a 4Runner rock crawler and used their bushings all around. One piece of advice is to use the supplied grease generously. Those bushings can make an awful screeching sound. Even better is, if you have to replace the spring pins, to get new ones that are drilled out to accept grease (I have not tried these but will be on the list when I replace the MH bushings). I believe the folks at Northwest Off Road Specialties could help. www.northwestoffroad.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm a little confused where the spring pins are used. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirliott Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Mike, Sorry, I have called them spring pins and have also heard them called Pivot Bolts. Anyway, they will probably be a PITA to remove and the bushings are not easy either. Get yourself some big sturdy c-clamps and use to push out the bolts and bushings. Put a socket over the bolt head to give it some place to go as it pushes out. You may have to cut out the bushings using a hack saw blade, remember they have been in there a while!

WME Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Lots of lube is important. If you run out use Pennzoil outboard lower gearcase lube, AKA blue whale snot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
